The experience points system here in Cairo After Dark, is similiar to the one White Wolf has provided us. We feel its best that we continue with what they have provided us to use, for the main fact.. that its a fair way of doing experience. There are three ways of gaining expereince: Posting, End of Session and End of Storytline.
Posting:
Each character receives one (1) base point per message board submission. The maximum you are allowed to receive from posting each month is 30. Each post must be over 1000 words or 3 to 4 paragraphs long, in order to gain any experience towards the post.
End of Session:
Each character receives the following after each open room session they take part in.
One Point - Automatic: each players gets one paint at the end of each session.
One Point - Learning Ability: each player is asked to explain what their character had learned through the course of the events that took place. If the Storyteller agrees with the explaination, the player is awared the one point.
One Point - Roleplaying: the Storyteller decides if each player has carried out the role ot their character well, not only entertainingly but appropriately.
End of Storyline:
Each character received the following after the completion of the storyline, if they have taken part in the entire storyline.
One Point - Success: character has achieved all or part of their goals they set out to accomplish.
One Point - Danger: character has survived against harsh odds and grave dangers.
One Point - Wisdom: the player/character came up with a brilliant plan or even a spontaneous stratergy that enabled the survival of all the characters within the storyline, when it would likely have failed otherwise.
